Avlu

Eskişehir


Inside the Abacı Konak, this elegant restaurant serves up classic Turkish dishes – meze starters and meaty kebap mains. There's live music from Tuesday to Saturday starting 8pm, and on Friday and Saturday nights there's the added attraction of a Turkish mini-orchestra that takes the stage around 10.30pm. In summer the dining action overflows to an outdoor pavilion.
